Tricks and tips to get the very best Crystal Coast rental experience:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• The earlier you can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Summer months are high season in Beaufort. To book the best vacation home within budget, we suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Crystal Coast restaurants and activities.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Crystal Coast visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have deals for local tours and attractions.

Planning and choosing the best Crystal Coast rental:

• Start by choosing vacation dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Starfish DOG-FRiENDLY in the Historic District has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. Otherwise, email the property management company before booking the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, record any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the host immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good ratings to propel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
